The higher classification of the Clusiidae is reviewed, and the family is divided into the subfamilies Clusiodinae, Clusiinae and the new subfamily Sobarocephalinae, all of which are (re)defined. The newly defined Clusiinae includes the genera Phylloclusia Hendel, 1917, Tetrameringia McAlpine, 1960, Amuroclusia Mamaev, 1987, Clusia Haliday, 1838, Paraclusia Czerny, 1903, Alloclusia Hendel, 1917 and Apiochaeta Czerny, 1903. The Sobarocephalinae includes the genera Sobarocephala Czerny, 1903, Procerosoma gen. n., and Chaetoclusia Coquillett, 1904. The new genus Procerosoma is described for two species, Procerosoma alini (Shatalkin) comb. n. from Brazil and P. prominens sp. n. from Mexico. Sobarocephaloides Soós, 1962 is treated as a junior synonym of Sobarocephala, and Chaetoclusia is redefined to include the monotypic genera Chaetoclusiella Soós, 1962, syn. n. and Trichoclusia Soós, 1962, syn. n. Six new species of Chaetoclusia are described (C. centrofasciata sp. n., C. amplipenis sp. n., C. transversa sp. n., C. inbionella sp. n., C. flava sp. n., and C. furva sp. n.). Chaetoclusia bakeri peruana Hennig, 1938 is included as a junior synonym of C. bakeri Coquillett, 1904. The phylogeny of Chaetoclusia is discussed and a key is provided for its 13 species. INTRODUCTION Frey (1960) divided the Clusiidae into two subfamilies, Clusiinae (with one or more inclinate fronto-orbital bristles) and Clusiodinae (all fronto-orbitals reclinate). Later authors narrowed the Clusiinae to include only those genera with the anterior fronto-orbital bristle inclinate (Sasakawa, 1977; Pitkin & Evenhuis, 1989; Figs 7, 11 13). Male and female genitalic characters, however, as well as previously unrecognized external morphological characters, suggest alternative subfamilial divisions of the Clusiidae. We here redefine the existing subfamilies, erect the new subfamily Sobarocephalinae, and revise Chaetoclusia Coquillett, 1904 and Procerosoma gen. n., which are the sobarocephaline genera other than Sobarocephala Czerny, 1903. Most previous treatments of the New World tropical Clusiidae have focused on the immense sobarocephaline genus Sobarocephala, a frequently encountered genus of well over 200 Neotropical species. Chaetoclusia, in contrast, has received very little attention, because of the apparent rarity of species other than C bakeri Coquillett. Six of the thirteen species of Chaetoclusia are described as new below, but the group s biology or immature stages remain unknown. Procerosoma is the least frequently encountered New World genus of Clusiidae, with its two species known from only three specimens collected in Mexico and Brazil. MATERIALS AND METHODS Approximately 180 specimens were examined from the following institutions: University of Guelph Insect Collection (DEBU); British Museum of Natural History, London (BMNH); Canadian National Collection, Ottawa (CNCI); Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Pittsburgh (CMNH); Entomological Museum of Utah State, Logan (EMUS); Biological Collection, University of Bielefeld (FBUB); Instituto Nacional de Biodiversidad, Santo Domingo de Heredia (INBC); Staatliches Museum für Tierkunde, Dresden (SMTD); United States National Museum, Washington, D.C. (USNM); Zoological Museum, University of Moscow (ZMUM). Most specimens were pinned, either air-dried or prepared in a critical-point drier. FBUB specimens were stored in alcohol. Male and female genitalia were prepared by macerating abdomens in hot potassium hydroxide (10% solution) for 12 13 min, followed by washing in glacial acetic acid and deionized water. Terminology follows that in Caloren & Marshall (1998), with the exception of the pregonite and postgonite, which are illustrated in Figs 4 and 5. The M 1+2 ratio is defined as the length of the ultimate section of vein M divided by the length of the penultimate section. Representatives of all clusiid genera were examined (excluding the fossil genus Electroclusiodes Hennig, 1965), as were representatives of all recognized sobarocephaline species (defined below) and a range of exemplars from possible outgroup families, including all families in the superfamily Opomyzoidea (in sense of McAlpine, 1989) except Xenasteiidae (cf. Papp, 1998). A phylogenetic hypothesis for the species of Chaetoclusia (Fig. 58) was generated through analysis of a morphological character matrix (Table 2) using PAUP version 4.0b10 [Phylogenetic Analysis Using Parsimony (Swofford, 2003)], using a simple heuristic search with all characters unweighted. To polarize characters, the lineage made up of Sobarocephala and Procerosoma was treated as the sister group to Chaetoclusia; this allowed for the construction of a hypothetical ancestor characterized by plesiomorphic states. Trees were drawn with the aid of Winclada (Nixon, 2002). 163

RESULTS Redefinition of the subfamily Clusiodinae Most members of the Clusiodinae (all genera excluding the basal genus Allometopon Kertesz, 1906) form a strongly supported clade defined by an antenna that arises at or below the midpoint of the head, a blunt and obtuse angulate extension on the outer surface of the pedicel, a reduced or absent extension on the inner surface of the pedicel, a scutellum that is flat and longitudinally wrinkled dorsally, an extremely reduced phallapodeme, an enlarged ejaculatory apodeme, fusion of the components of the phallus, loss of the epiphallus, loss of the postgonite, loss of the lateral lobe of the distiphallus, articulation of the hypandrial complex to the epandrium and annulus (and less so to the subepandrial sclerite), and fusion of the pregonite (which is lengthened and enlarged) to the hypandrium. Outside of this group, the pregonite is well defined and separate from the hypandrium (Fig. 5), with membranous or stronger sclerotized connections seen in only a few derived lineages. This group includes the genera Clusiodes Coquillett, 1904, Craspedochaeta Czerny, 1903, Hendelia Czerny, 1903, Heteromeringia Czerny, 1903, Prohendelia Frey, 1960, Tranomeringia Sasakawa, 1966 and Xenoclusia Frey, 1960. The entire subfamily, comprised of the above genera plus Allometopon, is less well supported. Synapomorphies of the entire subfamily include longitudinally segmented (not spherical and undifferentiated) spermathecae, loss of the ventrolateral lobes of the hypandrium, entirely reclinate fronto-orbital bristles and loss of the presutural intra-alar bristle. The latter two characters are of equivocal polarity. Presutural intra-alars have also been lost in Chaetoclusia richardfreyi (Soós, 1962), Sobarocephala (regained in several species) and most Apiochaeta Czerny, 1903, and they also reappear in several species of Craspedochaeta. This character is also subject to frequent homoplasy in related families, as these bristles are often reduced in the Anthomyzidae, and are lost in the Acartophthalmidae and most Asteioinea sensu McAlpine (1989). The Acartophthalmidae was treated as the sister group to the Clusiidae by McAlpine (1989), but this family is probably more closely related to the Carnidae, Chloropidae and Milichiidae (Griffiths, 1972; Brake, 2000). The fossil genus Electroclusiodes also lacks presutural intra-alar bristles (Hennig, 1965), providing some evidence for inclusion of this genus in the Clusiodinae. The placement of Electroclusiodes in the Clusiodinae is further supported by its possession of entirely reclinate fronto-orbital bristles, although this is another homoplastic character providing relatively weak additional support for the subfamily. Redefinition of the subfamily Clusiinae Inclinate anterior fronto-orbital bristles have previously been used to define the Clusiinae, but similar bristles appear independently in the clusiodine lineage containing Heteromeringia and Tranomeringia. As discussed above, a large suite of synapomorphies support the placement of Heteromeringia and Tranomeringia in the Clusiodinae, indicating that this character has evolved at least twice in the family. Furthermore, although entirely reclinate fronto-orbitals were treated as the ancestral state for the Opomyzoidea by McAlpine (1989), inclinate anterior bristles appear frequently throughout the superfamily, being entirely absent only in the Opomyzoinea (Opomyzidae + Anthomyzidae) (McAlpine, 1989). Inclinate anterior fronto-orbitals are most notably present in the Agromyzidae and Odiniidae, which are possibly the closest relatives of the Clusiidae, suggesting that these bristles are in the groundplan of the family. Given the above uncertainties regarding the polarity and homology of the character previously used to define the Clusiinae (inclinate anterior fronto-orbital bristles), it is not surprising to find that the subfamily as previously defined does not withstand scrutiny, and we were unable to find any other reliable synapomorphies that would support its monophyly. Within the Clusiinae, however, we have found two well-supported clades that we here treat as the Clusiinae in a narrowed sense and the new subfamily Sobarocephalinae. The relationships between the subfamilies of Clusiidae are currently unresolved. The redefined Clusiinae includes Clusia Haliday, 1838, Paraclusia Czerny, 1903, Apiochaeta, Alloclusia Hendel, 1917, Phylloclusia Hendel, 1917, Tetrameringia McAlpine, 1960, Amuroclusia Mamaev, 1987, and at least two undescribed genera. The Clusiinae in this revised sense is supported by six synapomorphies: the M 1+2 ratio of the wing is less than 2.7 (reversed in several species); the fore femur has several outstanding bristles on the posterodorsal surface; the pleuron has a subnotal stripe (obscured or lost in several genera); the surstylus has developed an internal spur (lost in several species, possibly absent in the ancestor of Phylloclusia and Tetrameringia); the distiphallus is elongate and bent or jointed medially; the vertex has a posteromedial truncate notch behind the ocelli (also found in Allometopon). Sobarocephalinae subfam. n. The new subfamily Sobarocephalinae includes the genera Sobarocephala, Chaetoclusia and Procerosoma, the latter two of which we revise below. Sobarocephaloides Soós, 1964 is synonymized with Sobarocephala, and the monotypic Chaetoclusiella Soós, 1962 and Trichoclusia Soós, 1962 are synonymized with Chaetoclusia (see below). This subfamily is defined by male genitalic characters: loss of the sixth spiracle (otherwise left lateral on the annulus), a ventral lobe of the hypandrium that is usually at least as long as the hypandrial arm (secondarily reduced in several species of Chaetoclusia and Sobarocephala), and a relatively large surstylus (usually more than 0.67 times the length of the epandrium, but smaller in Procerosoma alini (Shatalkin, 1991) and several species of Sobarocephala). Large surstyli are also found in Alloclusia, Allometopon, and certain clades within several clusiodine genera. Procerosoma and Sobarocephala share a number of synapomorphies, including an open cell bm (confluent with cell dm), a small pregonite, and (possibly) a loss of the presutural intra-alar bristle. Procerosoma, however, 164

lacks the basal shield on the distiphallus and the thumblike process on the lateral lobe of the distiphallus, both of which characterize Sobarocephala. Although Procerosoma and Sobarocephala are sister groups, Procerosoma is here given generic status for practical reasons. It would have been extremely difficult to provide a definition for Sobarocephala including Procerosoma because there are no apparent synapomorphies of both genera that have been retained in every species of Sobarocephala. Furthermore, Procerosoma lacks dorsal preapical tibial bristles, similar to Heteromeringia and most genera of Clusiinae, and Procerosoma is easily recognized in that the head is relatively wide with the mouthparts situated more ventrally and posteriorly, most dimensions of the body are elongate with respect to those of Sobarocephala, and the scutellum and metatergites have become distinctly convex, slightly shortened, and angled dorsally. Status of the genus Sobarocephaloides Sobarocephaloides discolor Soós, 1964 (the type species of Sobarocephaloides by monotypy; Holotype label data: Costa Rica. La Suiza, 26.x [year not given], P. Schild (1%, USNM)) belongs to the Sobarocephala plumata clade of the S. flaviseta species group (which will be revised in an upcoming paper) on the basis of a frons that is strongly narrowed posteriorly, minute ocellar bristles, a slight protuberance on the face below and between the antennal bases, a distinct brown spot on the first flagellomere and a densely plumose arista. The first character is a synapomorphy of the S. flaviseta species group, and the latter four are synapomorphies of the S. plumata clade. Sobarocephaloides is therefore synonymized with Sobarocephala. Soós (1964) erected the genus Sobarocephaloides for Sobarocephala discolor based on a reduction of the postvertical, fronto-orbital and anterior dorsocentral bristles. It is now apparent that a reduction of the bristles on the head and thorax is characteristic of most species in the S. plumata clade, of which S. discolor is an extreme example. A second species, Sobarocephaloides alini Shatalkin, 1991, was described as a Sobarocephaloides on the basis of a similar reduction of the bristles on the head and thorax (Shatalkin, 1991), but it is only remotely related to S. discolor. Sobarocephaloides alini is discussed below as the type species for the new genus Procerosoma. Key to the clusiid subfamilies and sobarocephaline genera 1 Anterior fronto-orbital bristle reclinate.

Melander & Argo (1924) listed the absence of the postvertical bristles in their definition of Chaetoclusia, but they apparently overlooked the presence of these bristles in C. nigromaculata Melander & Argo, 1924 and C. xanthops (Williston, 1896). We here redefine Chaetoclusia on the basis of setulae on vein R 1 (character 3), the reduction or absence of the anterior lateral scutellar bristle (character 2; independently evolved in some Procerosoma and Sobarocephala) and the reduction of sternites 6 and 7 of the annulus ventrally into a thin, but well-sclerotized ventral band (character 12). Black bristles (character 1) are also a synapomorphy of Chaetoclusia, but this state has been retained in only the four most ancestral species (C. richardfreyi, C. sabroskyi (Soós, 1962), C. nigromaculata, and C. quadrivittata Melander & Argo, 1924). Of the synapomorphies listed above (characters 1, 2, 3 and 12), the presence of setulae along vein R 1 is the most easily observed and does not appear to have become reversed in any species. The presence of these setulae also appear to be a unique synapomorphy within the Clusiidae, although Craspedochaeta novaeguineae Soós, 1962 (Bismarck Islands, New Guinea) has two or three setulae on R 1 near its junction with the costa. The reduction of the annulus and the anterior lateral scutellar bristle are good diagnostic characters, but these states occur independently in a number of Sobarocephala, occasionally in tandem.
